DAKOTA COUNTY PLANNING & ZONING: Tuesday August 19, 2008
A regular meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by President Joe O’Neill and the Pledge of Allegiance was said by all. Present were: Gene Cantrell, Jim Crosgrove, Jim Jepsen, Dick McCabe, Marlan Millard, Neil Miller, Joe O’Neill and Marty Rohde. Also present: Planning and Zoning Administrator Dennis Reinert, and Dakota County Commissioner Jackie Hartnett, Dakota County Attorney Kim Watson, and see attached list.
After reviewing the minutes from the July meeting, Jim Jepsen had a correction for the following sentence: Jim Jepsen made the comment that this rule applied to the new book, not the old book and that no Conditional Use Permits fall under the new book yet. This sentence should be changed to: Jim Jepsen made the comment that this rule applied to the new book, not the new book. Moved by Jim Jepsen, second by Gene Cantrell to approve amended minutes for July’s meeting. Motion carried.
First item was Richard and Angela Coan to address the board regarding a storage building between Nodaway and Sivill Way north of Jackson by the river. This area is zoned recreational and is in an odd shaped triangular piece between these two roads. They are requesting a variance because they do not meet the minimum setback from the county roads. The Planning and Zoning Board referred them to the Board of Adjustments since the variance is from the county road, not another property line.
Second item on the agenda is to make a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners regarding whether Conditional Use permits should be issued by the Planning and Zoning Board or by the County Board of Commissioners. After much discussion, it was decided that the Planning and Zoning Board would make a recommendation for a Conditional Use Permit and let the Board of Commissioners have the final ruling on whether to issue one or not.
The third item on the agenda was to develop rules for a Towing Service. After much discussion and some changes made to their previous draft the Planning & Zoning Board decided on a set of regulations. Motion made by Jim Jepsen, second by Marlan Millard to accept changes made to the towing regulations draft. Roll Call Vote. Motion carried. Due to conflict of interest, Marlan Millard will present the regulations to the Board of Commissioners instead of Dennis Reinert. The Board of Commissioners will review the regulations and hold a public hearing before they approve/disapprove the new regulations.
Fourth item on the agenda was the Planning and Zoning Administrator. After input from some of the board members, they decided to recommend to the Board of Commissioners to remove Dennis Reinert as the Planning & Zoning Administrator and have Marlan Millard do building inspections until a new Administrator could be hired. Motion made by Jim Jepsen, second by Marty Rohde. Roll call vote unanimous. Motion carried.
Motion made by Gene Cantrell , second by Neil Miller to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting was duly adjourned at 8:48P.M. Respectfully submitted,
Jolene Gubbels
